5d MarkII RAW- unsupported image format?

I've seen the topic on bad RAW conversion into Aperture from the current Canon 5d MkII model - but I can't even view my images any larger than thumbnail-sized. When I click on them it says "unsupported image format", double clicking sets the thumbnail in the view only mode with "loading" to infinity!
How very disappoing. I hate Lightroom and really don't want to change over!
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

you can always use DPP to convert the sRAW to .tiff or .jpg and use aperture to manage ... but converting to .tiff defeats the purpose of the smaller files ...
i haven't ever used any sRAW, don't see a point personally ... storage is cheap these days, CF cards are cheap these days ...
to me it is akin to buying a v-12 and 'turning off' 8 of the cylinders ...

  • EOD350D/ Digital Rebel raw - unsupported image format ?????

    From the raw tech spec page:
    Supporting the RAW formats from all leading digital camera manufacturers (including Canon and Nikon), Aperture provides optimized support for such market leading cameras as the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, Canon EOS 20D, and Nikon D2x as well as the highly popular Canon Digital Rebel and Nikon D50. It also supports the Adobe DNG format.

    Well, I must be doing something wrong. Ik can see the thumbnails, but once imported I always get 'Unsupported Image Format'.... This is what most aften see in Aperture. I must be overlooking things....

    Ok, messing around in the raw.plist fixed this. Is not an Aperture issue, more an OS X 10.4.3 issue --> http://minimal.cx/2005/11/01/make-os-x-1043-understand-canon-eos-350d-raw-files/

  • Canon 10D RAW - Unsupported Image Format??

    I have a folder of 66 Canon 10D RAW (.CRW and .THM) images. After importing to Aperture 1.5 I get 'Unsupported Image Format' for 29 of the images. If I try and open one of these images from the Finder in preview I also get a 'Cannot open' message.
    Strange thing is iView Media Pro, RAW Developer, Canon DPP, Phase One C1, Photoshop CS2 and LightZone can all open and view these files! Only Aperture/OSX (Preview) is having the problem.
    Any ideas how to 'recover' these images to Aperture?

    You are indeed correct .... shame on me for not reading your post carefully.
    Since you have .THM files, are you pulling the images into Canon's ImageBrowser or DP Professional before Aperture vs. importing direct to Aperture? The reason I ask is that iPhoto, Preview and Aperture all failing to read the same image is clearly systemic not application specific. It points to some level of corruption - - - as far as OS X is concerned - - - of the image and is obviously not application centric, save where the application calls on the OS support systems.
    Is it possible for you to generate .DNG's for the "Unsupported" images and try importing these? It may be the CRW wrapper that is somehow unreadable at a myopically detailed level that other imaging tools blythly (and perhapds more appropriately) ignore. The DNG wrapper may allow the RAW content to be then read by Aperture.
    Hopefully this is a more helpful response.

  • Canon G9 Raw - "Unsupported Image Format"

    I am using Aperture 1.5.6. When I went to import in Aperture RAW images from my new G9, the appear as "Unsupported Image Format." I do not have this problem when importing from my Nikon D2sx. Any suggestions??

    Rather annoyingly, you're right. While everyone has been criticising how RAW support is in the OS, Apple seems to have taken this a step further and included G9 support in the OS, but not in a way that Aperture 1.5.6 can use. On the page:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    they have asterisks beside a variety of new additions which require 10.5.2 (or 10.4.11) and Aperture 2. I've run the additional Leopard graphics update, reimported the G9 RAWs and this changes nothing in 1.5.6. A trial copy of Aperture 2 on another machine has no problems.
    I guess this means that Aperture 1.5.6 users are no longer supported for newer cameras (including ones which have been out for some time).

  • Nikon D5000 RAW "Unsupported Image Format"

    Well here's another one for the Unsupported Image Format category. I just received a Nikon D5000 took a hundred or two shots in RAW format only to find after importing them to Aperture a row of thumbnails. Now if only after clicking on a thumbnail for viewing it displayed the image and not "Unsupported Image Format".

    all set with adobe raw 5.4, i grabbed the converter because the plugin is a p.i.t.a. and the installer isn't very friendly if you delete the plugin and try to start over. available from the labs at: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/CameraRaw5.4
    i wouldnt expect apple to add compatibility till 10.5.8. its a big name and soon to be popular machine. so i would bet on it. but when that comes, id also bet to be a long time from now.

  • Raw Files Appear Deleted or Corrupted Suddenly in Aperture with Unsupported Image Format Error

    I have been using Aperture 3, latest update, for the past year. Today, I tried to import new raw files from my new Sony RX1r and, as far as I can see, all raw files in Aperture give the "Unsupported Image Format" and alert symbol in the library where not only new files should be, but also ALL PREVIOUS RAW FILES. These files do no even show up as existing in the iPhoto Library.
    This is, needless to say, distressing, as hundreds and hundreds of photos seem lost. Also, the files show a reduced pixel size and file sizes all go to .5 Mb. Some of the photos seemed to show up initially and look fine until I tried to open them, then they all either disappear or show the Unsupported Image Format instead of the opened file. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto library, but no help.
    I have looked in these discussions and see similar problems with Aperture. Perhaps, Apple has not made an update for the RX1r from the RX1 for raw files, but why should all older raw files now be corrupted, especially those recently made with my Olympus OM-D? Had no problem with Aperture until this disaster.
    Please help.
    William

    Just an update. Restarted computer and attempted rebuilds of iPhoto library a couple more times and finally files and photos mostly recovered, except for those I had tried to open. Aperture seems to have a problem, or a host of them, dealing with RAW files, and there is no update yet for the Sony RX1R for Aperture or iPhoto. Lightroom 5, on the other hand, seems to work great with these files directly, so that will be where all photos go for now. Will iPhoto and Aperture just become old archives? It is so infuriating that Apple does not allow for simple importing and exporting compatibility with such an excellent program as Lightroom 5 just to protect their somewhat poorly supported Aperture. I've been a staunch Apple supporter and user since the 80's, but having more doubts about the direction this company is taking.

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • 10.5.2; Canon 1DsM3 Raw Files = "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture

    Just did the update and pointed Aperture to a folder of Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files (standard raw files, no sRaw or anything like that). Thumbnail previews are grey and Viewer says, "Unsupported Image Format".
    Tried rebooting and verifying/fixing permissions. No help. No thumbnails, no images in Aperture.
    Canon 1Ds Mark III raw files do show fine in the finder and in Quick Look.
    Message was edited by: Jon Roemer

    I have the same exact issue.
    I do get the same error with 1Ds MIII raws.
    Also the G9 raws are not working.
    Finally after 3 months it's still not working
    I could imagine that there is the need to edit some property file (like I have read before in the forum somewere) to add the new cameras to the list of supported cameras.
    Are the D3, D300 raws working?

  • I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format"

    I have a fujifilm X100, at first there were no issues viewing my RAW photos but now all of a sudden the pictures come up as "unsupported image format".  How do I fix this?

    No, I did not do any updates between the time that the files were viewable and when they were not.  I was actually without an internet connection for a few days when the problem started.  I reported the bug to apple and have since been contacted by them asking for a few sample images so they can figure out the problem, so I'm hoping they come up with an answer for me.

  • Why do G3 raw files show as "Unsupported Image Format" in Aperture?

    I am moving towards shooting in raw, and as an experiment I imported some sample raw files from the publicly available text images on the Photography Blog. When I try to look at these images, I get a black screen with a warning triangle and the message "Unsupported Image Format". This happens for all the different raws, including some G3 raw files (.rw2). Oddly, it can read the EXIF metadata and has all the information about shooting settings etc. If I import the same files into iPhoto, it displays the images properly and allows editing, etc.
    I have a workaround, which I've also tried with my Fuji X10 raws (still not supported on MacOSX), of running them through the Adobe DNG converter, and then looking at the dng files which seem to work fine. But it's a pain.
    This has to be one of those simple "D'oh" things, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong!

    Thanks Leonie, the second part revealed that I have been an idiot, although the behaviour is still surprising. The folder has a mix of DMC-G3 raws, Fuji X10 raws, and DNG files produced from both. For the Fuji X10 files, the DNGs produce images and the raws produce the "Unsupported file format" message. The latter is not surprising, the former a little surprising (as I've heard that DNGs only work when the associated raw works). The last two remarks don't directly address my problem (or perceived problem), but they perhaps set the frame for my expectations.
    For the G3 files, when I look at it more closely, the G3 raws DO display correctly, while the G3 DNGs give "Unsupported file format". I had managed to fool myself into thinking it was the other way round (Aperture does rather hide the full file name).
    So I was completely wrong, Aperture does support DMC-G3 raw, it's just it's DNG support that's a bit weird. However, it's on my side if I need to use X10 raws (via the DNG step). In fact so far I've given up the latter, as the noise levels are so much greater than in Fuji's in-camera JPEG conversion.
    So, thanks very much for your help. Now I remember the first rule of system support: never trust what the customer tells you! (I know you're not really customer support, but I guess the same rule applies.) Thanks again

  • When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format, When I try to import raw files from my nikon d600 I get the message Unsupported image format

    When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

    Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
    Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
    You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

    sorry for the late reply. Have been on some working holidays
    My setting is : typ>>>>  no

    The only information, which is not transmitted is the adjustment level of the AF-finetuning
    Good luck and hope it works meanwhile also with your camera

  • "Unsupported image format"- Has nothing to do with RAW images-

    I have a very weird problem with one of my Aperture 3 libraries. This only seems to apply to one library, all the others I tested seem to work just fine.
    This library was created on my MBA and transfered to my iMac when I returned from my trip. It worked fine until yesterday.
    When I open an image (thumbnail looks just fine) the photo briefly shows the large view with the "Loading" indicator at the top. When the loading indicator goes away the photo is replaced with the "Unsupported image  format" display. After that the thumbnail is gone too. This happens for most, but not all images in this gallery. I can restore the thumbnail and other previews from the raw NEF photos by choosing "Reprocess Original".
    I have already tried all the options the Aperture debug menu offers (start with Option-Command), this didn't help…
    When I open the library in the Finder (Show package contents) I can drill down to the "Previews" folder and see the photos that Aperture wont display. They seem jsut fine and all file permissions seem to be set correctly…
    Has anyone ever experienced this problem? I really don't know what else i could try, short of deleting this library and importing all the images into a new one, losing all my edits, of course… Super annoying…
    Thanks and kind regards, Hans
    Edit: The raw photos are from my Nikon D700, which has been supported by the RAW importer since forever. i dont think that has anything to do with the original files, especially since Aperture can recreate the previews from the raws…

    There has been problems with the last Raw update released a few days ago especially with Nikon cameras.
    Have you updated your system software in the last day or so? Is it possible you updated on one system but not another.
    And for what its worth norbertmuc's question was  valid from a troubleshooting standpoint. If something worked at one point and stop working at a second point it is fair to ask what happened between those two points. He might have been a bit brusque but I don;t think he was accusing you of anything.
    And of course there are many things you can do to a library to break it.

  • Canon G7x and unsupported image format icon with RAW files.

    When RAW files downloaded from Canon G7x get "Unsupported Image Format" message. Using iMac with 10.9.5  and Aperture 3.5.1.  This is a new camera and is not on the supported list.  Is there a way around this?  Now that Aperture is static will new cameras continue to be added to supported list?

    The only way 'around' it is to upgrade to the required Aperture and/or OS version.  So you will need to wait for that to happen. In the meantime you could shoot Raw+JPG, use the JPGs now and when (and if) the camera is supported (or you move to a different program) you will have the Raw files.
    As for camera updates in Aperture, no one here can say what Apple intends, we;re just users here like yourself and even discussing this is technically against the TOU of these forums.
    But I think it is safe to assume, as Apple will continue to support Raw processing and that the Raw processing is done at the OS level and they have said they will support Aperture at least through Yosemite's life cycle that any new Raw format added to OS X will reusable by Aperture. But that's only a guess.

  • Unsupported Image Format after recent Digital Raw Update..?

    I think there is a serious bug in the most recent digital camera raw update.. Though I am not sure if it's a 10.5.6 update issue or the recent camera raw update (v2.4)... The problem is didn't launch aperture between these so I don't know..
    I have a Leica V-Lux 1 camera. The RAW format for this camera has been supported since leopard came out. However, in a effort to save space I always convert my leica raw files to DNG. This hasn't been a problem for me and things have worked fine... However, after this update I am receiving the dreaded unsupported image format.. What is interesting however, is that this is only for my DNG converted RAW files in aperture.. Those files which I didn't convert to DNG and remain in raw (i have a few) don't have this message. This is serious, I have lost access to my entire collection of pictures as a result..

    The solution to fix this was to restore the 2.3 camera update (RawCamera.bundle) file using time machine. I will have to report this to apple bug reporter as this is a clear problem with 2.4 update and easily reproducible.
